=30.= WILLARD SHALES. These shales are fifty-five feet thick in their
thinnest exposure, and are thicker in some places. Bennett gives their
thickness at Willard at from seventy-five to eighty-five feet, including
a thin stratum of limestone.[10] The Bennett collection contains the
following specimens taken from this thin limestone:
_Fusulina secalica_ (Say) Fischer.
_Meekella striaticostata_ (Cox) White and St. John.
_Productus semireticulatus_ (Martin) d’Orbigny.
_Bellerophon_ sp.
=31.= CHOCOLATE LIMESTONE. This name, as well as the one preceding and
the one following, are used merely for convenience here, as they have
been used before for the designation of these rocks, knowing that with
further study and careful tracing they will be found to be the
equivalents of similar rocks on the Neosho river section. This limestone
is buff brown in color, varying from seven to ten feet in thickness,
composed principally of two layers of massive stone, the upper of which
is composed largely of the large variety of _Fusulina secalica_. In the
Kansas river region it always forms high escarpments with rocky edges.
It is not rich in any fossils except the _Fusulinas_.

=32.= Shales and sandstones shown near Dover, eighty-five feet in
thickness, varying from light yellow to brownish red.
=33.= DOVER LIMESTONE. A limestone about four feet in thickness and of
grayish color.
=34.= Somewhere from forty to seventy feet of shales, with occasional
thin limestones with _Myalina perattenuata_.
=35.= Ten to twelve inches of very fossiliferous limestone in thin
layers. Numbers 32 to 35 are as exposed on Mission creek and its
tributaries near Dover. Number 35 is shown in ravines southwest of
Dover, in the high region east and south of Mission creek.
